Was my twin brother a poser or a real skater?
My twin brother used to skateboard alot when he was a kid. However many other kids called him a poser.
So my brother would
• skateboard often (go to a skatepark sometimes and skate while he was there)
• know the difference between a regular and a goofy stance
• know the difference between the nose and the tail of the board
• often dressed in skater shirts
• dressed in skinny jeans
• dressed in skater shoes
• dressed in skater hoodies
• wore a skater helmet (as opposed to a bicylce helmet)
• knew what an ollie was and would ollie HIGH
• not bad at skateboarding (he impressed some people.)
• he listens to a variety of music
• he never smoked or did drugs as a kid (well except he once drank alcohol as a kid)
• he dressed in army boots as well as abercrombie sometimes
So was he a poser or a real skater? Alot of kids would call him a poser (compared to other kids who skateboarded).
I'm not gonna state my opinion, I want to know what others would say?
P.S. this was when he was 11-14. He skateboarded alot those years.
He doesn't skateboard as often as he used to, but would love to get a new skateboard and start again. He says he misses it.
Also, I might try to learn to skateboard myself
